Couple of issues..

kurosake

Well.. the first one is this; Certain effects in pwi do not appear. Namely semi-transparent things.. for example;

Entrances to caves no longer have the fancy bluish textures that normally appear at the doors.. Certain effects.. for example the red rings during the "Metabolic boost" skill that surround the character do not appear.. the same goes for heal pet.. i get the spinning texture on the floor, but the blue thing that normally surrounds and spins around the player does not appear at all?

Particle effects still appear.. and my sword still glows.. It's very consistant as to what fails and what doesn't, as i've put up with it for a couple of months now lol

Checking logs and I get stuff like this;

[16:07:50.496] A3DGFXMan::Init() Can not open gfxlist.txt

Can not open?

I know this sounds stupid, but I have looked in my pwi folder and cannot physically find a gfxlist.txt file.. Is this the issue? or is the file hidden within another?

To rule out the suggestion of corrupt files, I have this issue on both my netbook and my pc.. I have indeed tried reinstalling video drivers too.

I am, as we speak, downloading all of the language packs from microsoft.. to see if its a language compatibility issue as it is simply not opening the file

My second issue;

The forum scrollbar here often stops working in firefox.. Silly issue but I have this nowhere else :P any ideas why?
